This paper propose a new method using Gestalt theory to extract image contour. The proposed method use Gestalt theory based on proximity, similarity and continuation for grouping objects from image segmentation. It use downward feedback and perception to materialize one visual level in image from heterogeneity visual levels in image. The experimental result show that the proposed method achieves better performance than other methods.

An increasing number of mountaineers are recently creating diverse consumer needs for mountaineering garments, thereby leading to a production of smart mountaineering garments with diverse-functions. Smart mountaineering garments are increasingly adding to comfort and safety, boosting their market size. This study researched on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to examine factors that influence the intention of consumers to purchase buy mountaineering garments. For that purpose, 641 people aged 20-61 years who experienced in mountaineering were surveyed online. An extended TAM was designed by adding new variables such as fashion involvement and garment involvement associated with the characteristics of clothing products to the variables such as self-efficacy sense, technological innovativeness, perceived enjoyment. The findings of the study suggested that self-efficacy sense influenced perceived usefulness, perceived easiness of use, and perceived enjoyment, while garment involvement and fashion involvement influenced the perceived easiness of use and the perceived usefulness, respectively. Also, the perceived easiness of use influenced perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment, while the perceived usefulness and perceived enjoyment directly influenced the intention of purchase. Based on the findings of this research, this study seeks to determine factors variables of smart garments purchase intention, and to explore measures to enhance such purchase intention, thereby offering working implications for developing smart mountaineering garments.

This study, through a review of advanced research, first, examined the attitudes to products traded in import agency shopping malls and the characteristic variables(product characteristic, customer characteristic) that influence the purchasing intention to understand influencing relationship. Second, the role of adjustment in the relationship between the attitude to the products and the purchasing intention was examined by putting the perceived risk to the moderating variables. Third, efficient controllable basic data in the characteristic variables capable of influencing the management of and import agency shopping mall based on the implications was obtained from the above research result. The 126 responses collected from a questionnaire were analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 statistics package, and the analysis result can be summarized as follows. First, the main cause that influences the attitude of treated products in an import agency shopping mall is the country of origin, national image, innovativeness and price perception, not the brand image. Second, the attitude of the products influences the purchasing intention of the import agency shopping mall. Third, the perceived risk partially plays a role as a moderating variable in the relationship between the attitude of products and the purchasing intention.

The digital technologies brought a structural transformation to cinema, have lead a change in the way of existence of an assembly of images called cinema, and have shared expression methods with new-media. To look into how in terms of cinema style of the film era and the digital era are different, this article will focus on the matter of 'indexicality.' From the point of view of perceptive realism the discourses on digital image deconstruct the dichotomy between illusionism and classical realism. Therefore the actuality of an image does not depend on only indexicality but has much to do with how the viewers fundamentally perceive the image. In this age of digital cinema it does not matter to distinct a composite-image from a reality-image. This article inquires the relation of indexicality, the world and digital images in digital cinema on the level of reception, and reconsider in terms of image production.

In this study, two alternative models are developed and tested in order to investigate the relationship between retailer image and its private brand attitude. The halo effect model hypothesizes that retailer image is related as a halo in private brand evaluation and the summary construct model hypothesizes that retailer image functions as a summary construct of private brand evaluation. The results indicate there are moderating effects of 1) familiarity with a private brand and 2) the characteristics of a product category High familiarity is related with the summary construct model and low familiarity the halo effect model. In private brand food, the summary construct model fits better and explains more adequately that private brand evaluation influences retailer image as a summary construct. In private brand clothes, however, the halo effect model performs better in explaining the relationship between retailer image and private brand attitude.

Recently, Li, Brenner, Cornelissen and Kim (2002) reported that 2D shape perception during pursuit eye movement just reflected the retinal image, and this result implies that the visual system ignored the extra-retinal information. In reality, however, we usually do not experience the perceptual distottion of 2D shape during pursuit eye movement. One Possibility is that the visual system night exploit the fact that the relative location between objects on retinal image is constantly maintained even during pursuit eye movement. The present research examined this possibility. Interestingly, perceptual distortion of 2D shape was observed even in the presence of reference, however, the amount of distortion decreased compared to when the reference does not exist. The distance between the reference and the target affected the perceptual distortion. These results imply that reference information is used in 2D shape perception during pursuit eye movement but it cannot completely explain the stable and accurate representation of 2D shape perception during pursuit eye movement.

브랜드는 단순히 출처를 표시하고 품질을 보증하며 나아가 광고선전을 담당하는 기능을 하는 도구가 아니라 이를 바탕으로 기업에게 가치를 제공하는 매우 중요한 자산으로 부각되고 있다. 기업은 마케팅 활동을 통해 브랜드 이미지를 개발하고 소비자의 태도를 변화시키며, 자사의 브랜드자산을 증가시켜 브랜드의 시장성과를 높일 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 시장에 대한 진입 장벽 효과를 갖게 하고, 브랜드 탄력성을 높이는 등 전략적 가치를 보장받을 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 기업에 있어서 새로운 마케팅 전략의 수단으로 브랜드의 중요성이 높아지고 있으며, 또한 자사의 기업가치를 증대시키기 위해서는 강력한 브랜드자산을 창출하는데 전력을 다해야 할 것이다. 이러한 브랜드자산을 강화하기 위한 수단으로서의 브랜드인지도, 브랜드충성도, 지각된 품질, 브랜드 연상, 광고효과의 역할은 현재와 같은 글로벌 경쟁 시장상황에서 매우 의미가 있다고 본다. 특히 인터넷의 등장으로 더욱 가속화되고 있는 정보화시대에 있어서 광고의 역할이 많은 비중을 차지할 것으로 보인다. 본 연구에서는 브랜드인지도, 브랜드충성도, 지각된 품질, 브랜드연상, 광고효과가 브랜드자산 강화에 어느 정도의 영향을 미치는가를 연구하고자 한다. 그리고, 국내 중형승용차 시장에서 선두를 달리고 있는 현대의 소나타 브랜드에 대한 소비자들의 의식을 설문조사를 통하여 브랜드자산을 강화시키는 요인에 대한 영향을 실증 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 토대로 한 브랜드자산에 대한 마케팅에 있어서 전략적 시사점은 다음과 같다. 첫째, 기업들은 자사의 브랜드인지도를 높여서 소비자의 마음속에 자사의 브랜드가 장기간 기억될 수 있도록 브랜드인지도에 대한 전략적인 관리가 요망된다. 둘째, 소비자들이 자사의 브랜드가 경쟁브랜드보다 더 강력한 연상이 형성되도록 집중적인 마케팅 노력을 기울여야 할 것으로 보인다. 셋째, 제품품질을 향상시켜 소비자들의 지각된 품질수준을 높이는 노력이 요구된다. 넷째, 주로 단기간 작용하는 광고의 긍정적 효과를 위해서는 지속적인 광고의 실행이 요망된다. 끝으로, 분석결과에서도 알 수 있듯이 브랜드충성도가 브랜드자산 강화에 결정적인 영향을 미치기 때문에 마케팅관리자는 마케팅조사를 통해 브랜드충성도의 변화를 추적하고, 자사 제품에 대한 반복구매 및 브랜드태도의 측정을 함께 실시하여 더 높은 브랜드충성도를 소비자들이 가질 수 있도록 전략적인 방안을 강구하여야 할 것이다. 본 연구에서 나타난 결과를 요약하면 브랜드충성도가 가장 많은 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 브랜드연상, 지각된 품질, 광고효과, 브랜드인지도 순으로 모두다 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 기업에서는 브랜드자산을 강화하기 위해서는 5가지 요인들에 대해 체계적이고 보다 세밀한 관리방안을 수립하여야 할 것으로 판단된다.

The objective of this research is to identify the factors affecting the quality perception of consumer about the private brand and to investigate how the monetary utility of the private brand affects the consumer's preference. The main finding can be summarized in three points. The consumer's usage experience with PB have a positive but store image has no significant effect on the quality perception of PB. The perceived quality and monetary utility of PB has a significant effect on the quality perception while the perceived quality has stronger effect. The competitiveness of the national brand in the same store, post-usage attitude, the perceived quality, and perceived value have significant effect on the preference toward PB but monetary utility does not. The perceived effect has the strongest effect. This result suggests that even the value-seeking consumers prefer PB only when the perceived quality exceeds a certain limits. This study provides the strategic implications for retail managers and theoretical implication for the researcher studying PB.
